I had a thought. Since the native population of Europe is dying, do you think it's possible they might eventually encourage Americans and Canadians to move there and assimilate so that the European ethnic groups don't die out and become swamped by African and Asian groups moving in?
Could the idea of a mass exodus back across the Atlantic be a possibility?
Why did you ask WHITE? White or Asian or African-Americans, all are Americans. And in my opinion there are no different between races but it is different between European culture and American...

Good idea. I mean, Americans would need to pass a standard language test, something like TOEFL in order to be accepted.
I don't think native population of Europe is dying either. The birth rate of white Canadians and Americans are hardly more impressive. Most of the population growth in the US is due to the Hispanic population.
If millions of white Americans do move to Europe, which makes congested Europe more crowded and sparsely populated north american even more suburban, well, I guess China will be extremely glad to take over the land and move 500Million to replace to white exodus, leaving still 800M in Asia.
What should they let Chinese there? Don't they have enough Chop Suey?
The US-NATO is the Number 1 Military Power in the world (Thanks God!!!) and they can blast billions of Chinese away.
They'll be able to do it during generations to come, always 25 years ahead of copy-cats.
Anyways, Chinese always act as locust every 500 years or so, then they collapse.
It has happened many times in the past and it will happen in a few years, why? there are a ton for a dime theories, some point to centripetal forces, uniformization, etc.
History is a dented wheel that turns and turns..(chinese proverb).

Because whether you like it or not. Black americans do not originate in Europe.
More importantly, Europe is not one country (many Americans tend to talk like that), it has many countries with very different culture and traditions. How to decide where a white American belong to? If you are of german origin, you can't expect Italy to accept you as one of their own, right?
The it comes to the question, most Americans are highly mixed. Very few had pure blood, many with 3 or 4 or more background. How to decide where to go?
To the first bolded statement: When I was young, a European, never referred to himself as such. In the last couple of decades I hear it much, much more. Usually in some context of anti-Americanism (i.e. Europe -as a whole- vs. America). The term is used as such by citizens of various countries in Europe every day on this forum, so you must forgive its occasional use by Americans who are apt, by their cultural upbringing, to imitate 'Europeans'.
As for the second bolded statement: Some Americans, of any mixture, have a sub-cultural/ethnic upbringing dominated by one European ethnicity or another. But that is irrelevant. How do Turks, Iraqis, Somalis, and other immigrants decide which country in Europe they will immigrate to?
I suppose many Americans of any genetic or ethnic heritage would choose Britain or Ireland since those countries are the foundation of the American cultural mainstream. Many Americans of German heritage may well feel that they would like to live in Germany and would be happy to take intensive German lessons to facilitate their assimilation. The same with Italian-Americans. There is no shortage of Americans who are only a generation or two removed from their 'homelands', you know.
Not really, take Spain.
Castile and Castile la Mancha can take 10.000.000 Americans. Both regions are the size of UK and have 3 to 4 million inhabitants.
There are other importants things besides the size and polulation density of a region, for example, water.
